Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu has chosen the perfect moment to hit elite scoring form, netting once again on Monday as Trabzonspor edged a frantic 4–3 win over ten-man Başakşehir in the Turkish Super Lig.
The towering forward’s latest effort—his ninth goal of the season—not only keeps him joint-top of the league’s scoring chart alongside Eldor Shomurodov, but also throws a fresh spotlight on Nigeria’s camp, with the official AFCON 2025 roster set to drop any moment.

With competition for attacking slots intensifying and the countdown to Morocco accelerating, Onuachu’s timing has been nothing short of strategic.

While debates rage among fans over surprise inclusions and potential omissions, Onuachu is strengthening his résumé the only way strikers truly can—by scoring relentlessly.
